America becoming a ‘Godless’ country

America becoming a ‘Godless’ country

This past Sunday, the pastor of the church that I attend stepped up to the pulpit, and the first thing on his agenda was a request for prayer for the country of Ukraine who’s being occupied by Putin’s Russian troops; a potentially dire situation on many levels. He was right to make that request. Any country under undue and illegal siege from Russia or any other national governmental /political bullies deserves our prayers, and they have mine.

But what about America? While Russian troops aren’t taking over our land, we have been taken over all the same — not as much by foreign enemies as by the enemies within. ‘Within’ the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court, the unions, the ACLU and other fringe groups who want to remake America in their own godless image. We the people and the churches we attend are held captive and victimized because we allow our own kidnapping and victimization by way too many of us sitting around like bumps on a log while our government initiates, supports and enforces programs, regulations, limitations and laws that deprive us of our God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Some of us, along with some of our fellow church members and pastors, fall prey to Stockholm syndrome, buying into and adopting our captor’s points of view, even though it is detrimental to our wellbeing and will eventually destroy us.

Laid on the altar of government greed and lust for power, American children’s futures, here on earth and possibly the hereafter, are going up in smoke. Taxpayer’s hard-earned money is confiscated and spent foolishly on things over which the taxpayer has no say-so. We are losing our Christian rights on a daily basis including, but not limited to, our right of conscience. We are involved in our own holocaust of unborn babies — snuffing out 55 million little lives since Roe vs. Wade passed into law in 1973 — thus making Hitler’s Holocaust, which took the lives of 6 million innocent Jews, look puny by comparison. Traditional marriage and family structure is seen as folly by the ruling class and they rush forward, where angels fear to tread, making good evil, evil good and crucifying those who dare to disagree with them. Even our military, those who put their lives on the line for us, are being axed by the government they serve and protect. These few examples are but a small tip of the iceberg of government/political misconduct. Nobody is exempt from the long and scary arm of government. Unless of course, we believe and put into practice God’s promise that if He be with us, it won’t matter who’s against us. Pastors like to quote this fact to their congregations but one has to wonder if they actually believe it since they are so reluctant to hold government responsible for their ungodly behaviors. When is the last time you heard, from the pulpit, our government identified as a culprit in the woes that affect America today?

We have been brainwashed into believing that God has no place in the realm of politics. Hogwash! There is no such thing or place where God does not belong. The sins that today’s government foists upon us as a citizenry is not a partisan matter. It’s a biblical matter; a bitter war being waged against God himself. Almighty God the Creator of the universe and all that’s in it is under attack by certain little men and groups of little men who have sold their souls to that old serpent Satan.

As Christians, we need to get it out of our heads that it isn’t kosher to stand up to Caesar when he trifles with God. Not only is it kosher, it is our job as soldiers of the cross to stand up, stand with and stand strong for God lest he becomes so disgusted and fed up with us that he tosses us on the trash heap of history where we will be forevermore in the company of the likes of Babylon.
